Seattle Department of Neighborhoods is pleased to announce Seattle’s first public composting toilet, located at the Picardo Farm in Wedgwood. On Saturday, April 3, Picardo hosted the opening ceremonies, featuring a T.P. ribbon cutting, speeches by local dignitaries, and garden tours. Big thanks go out to Trent Elwing, Eileen Long, and Rich MacDonald for seeing through the entire process. Special thanks also to Emcee Ciscoe Morris for rallying the excitement from the troops at the event.

The Wedgwood Vision Project is a one-year effort to define and document a community vision for our neighborhood. With a vision we are better prepared to shape the community we want. This effort is a project of the Wedgwood Community Council and our consultant is MAKERS architecture + urban design.

We are seeking input as widely as possible both within Wedgwood and from all who have a stake in our neighborhood and its businesses and organizations. Please click the Wedgwood Vision Project link above to participate in the survey.

Please respond by the end of March 2010 if possible so we can summarize feedback at our April meeting. We will continue to accept responses into April.

We estimate the survey will take 15-20 minutes to complete. We have divided it into multiple sections of just a few questions each so it should move right along.

Results of the survey will be published in the Wedgwood Echo and on our website. All responses will be kept confidential. Thank you for your participation!
